Physical Education Classes Begin to Look Up
These KU students may look like they are practicing the blanket toss. Actually, they are participating in a new form of bend-and-stretch exercise. The exercise is part of a training class for physical education majors conducted in Robinson Gymnasium.
The exercise consists of holding the edge of a tarp or blanket, or as in the picture, a parachute, and bending down to touch one's own toes. Everyone then quickly raises themselves to an upright position and flings the parachute aloft as hard as they can.
The Mount Oread Bicycle Club is sponsoring a bicycle tour of Lone Star Lake, at 10 a.m. Sun., Saturday, April 25th for sophomore and publicity chairman for the club, said the tour in Strong Hall, weather permitted.

KU Student Forecasts Weather
Nels Shirer, a Lawrence senior, is not a professional meteorologist (his major is math), yet he spends two to three hours a day, five days a week, recording local weather conditions and preparing National Weather Service maps for display.

EVERY WEEKDAY Shirer teaches in highs and lows, fronts, squail lines and areas of mats maps and two sets of forecast maps. He receives the mpats from Suitland, Md., over a machine called a fascimile mach, which is similarly to teletype machine.

If you can't find Baraboo on the map, don't worry. Weather stations located every 200 or 300 miles from Baraboo, States and Canada send up weather balloons, called rainsbows, several times daily to record data. The area you are in should be close to one of these stations.

"That's a good question," he said recently as muffled student arrose from the graduate students in his lab. Because the maps he works with are national and are mostly forecasting local weather, forecasting local weather is not
"The forecast maps are calculated by a computer," he said, "and are probably accurate." He said the maps are dependable on a local basis.
"I've noticed that maps based on different computer programs"

Shirer estimated that the five-day forecast map predict temperatures with 50 per cent accuracy.

KU Librarian Suffers Attack By Nude Man
Campus police are looking for the soft-spoken man who accosted an assistant librarian Monday night as she was on her
The victim was walking from Watson Library, where she is employed, to her car in the parking lot east of Espra Hall Fire Station as described as being about 5-foot-6 with shoulder length brown hair, grabbed her by the throat and dragged her beneath a pine tree.
This kind of response appears to be typical on the University of Kansas campus and throughout the country today.
After the man allowed her to leave, the victim noticed a gray car near her car. Police suspect that he had been the attacker's vehicle.
She said the man appeared to be very nervous. He told her he had problems and that he was sorry.
There is a definite trend toward planning families of only two children. Professor of biology, physiology and cell biology and president of the Douglas County chapter of the Growth ZIP, said Wednesday.
"HOW MUCH OF this can be attributed to ZPG is hard to determine." he said
In a small, random questioning of KU students, the majority of men and women said they have only two or three children.
Although almost all said they were concerned with the issue of ZPG, no one was in view was that ZPG had not directly influenced their
A number of students weren't certain which ideas or literature that they had come into contact with could be attributed to ZPG.
Those students who said they tended to have four or more children from large families themselves. Most said they simply like长大.
AS ONE STUDENT said, "A large family is a good environment to grow up in."
Daily Journal World and KANU
Several students agreed with that idea but said they would adopt children after giving birth to two.
Two years ago, Shirer said, he began his work in meteorology as a research assistant to J. R. Eagleman, associate professor of geography at KU, who was studying the corner of a house is safest during a tornado. As a result of this research, Professor Eagleman found that contrary to popular belief, the best corner is the most dangerous.
The majority of students, however, said that for various reasons, they just didn't want many children.
"More than that would drive me crazy," one woman said. "I couldn't handle any more."
"I don't think society is any older in need of large families. The difference than it was ten years ago," another student said. Life's "great."
Financial factors were involved in some decisions. Others said a small family would make their own decision, give each child special attention.
"HAVE A LOT of children?" one engaged woman said. That not what I plan to do. The princess married is not to raise kids."
Two of the women said they planned to have only two children each, but did not intend to marry.
For these and probably other reasons, the trend today is toward smarter devices. In issue of the February 28th issue of Newsweek magazine, experts predict that the projected number of children in a family. Only a 2.1 average per family would be considered suitable population. Armitage said.
Armitage said the trend toward smaller families might change when those now under 25 years become to have their own children.
